It was night now, but thankfully it seemed like one of the maids had come into her room to light some candles for her, so she did not have to stumble about to light them herself. She kicked her shoes off and waited for Claire and Lynne to come help her undress.
It didn't take long before she heard them loudly talking as they made their way down the hall and to her room. They didn't even knock before they opened the door and walked right into Maria's room.
"Oh good, you're actually here this time. We never know with you, My Lady," Lynne said with a mocking laugh.
Maria chose to ignore the disrespectful comment this time because she was not in the mood to give any of her energy to her maids. She remained quiet as they undressed her and helped her into her nightgown.
